At least looks-wise, McGregor doesn’t exactly spring to mind when considering potential candidates for the role. However, he’s known for taking on a variety of roles, with any number of impressive performances to choose from.

Big-budget comic-book movies are a new territory for him, but we for one would look forward to seeing what he brings to the table – providing that he’s actually cast, of course.
